Scrappy Rose Pillow

I can’t take credit for this one…it was sitting in my mother’s living room when I came to visit. She made it using a combination of this tutorial for making the strip…and this tutorial for sewing it on. The only difference is that she pleated the long (I’m guessing about 7 ft.) scrappy strip as she sewed it to the pillow instead of gathering it before hand. Cute huh? I’m going to try to sneak it into my car tomorrow when I head back home…don’t tell.

If your SERIOUS about sneaking it home tomorrow, I suggest you implement part of the plan today. Perhaps you could casually drape something OVER the pillow TODAY so when you sneak the pillow out TOMORROW it won't be missed as quickly. :)))

OR

Plan B could be to ask your mom to make you one... 'cause I'm betting she would. Moms like it when you like the stuff they make!

HOLY COW! I don't sew but you make me want to! I want that pillow. I love it. I have a blog but is is lacking in the "sewing projects" post because, well, I don't really sew. I am just starting out but I would love to feature you someday. Let me know what you think.

That pillow reminds me of one I had as a kid on my bed.. what a great way to use up all of those strips leftover from strip quilting, I think I got a big bag of those in my fabric cabinet.. thanks, beautiful.
